My parents gave me a strict upbringing, which at times has caused me to suffer distress but today I am grateful to them for it.

I gave my beauty and my youth to men. I am going to give my wisdom and experience to animals.

I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.

Fashion may not be a weapon of the woman but at least it gives her the ammunition.

When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.

If I could do anything about the way people behave towards each other, I would, but since I can't, I'll stick to animals.

I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures... it's like putting on dirty panties every day.

Bookworms are the most precious worms in the world when they are humans, feeding upon the paper's body with their starving minds.

I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school, but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.

I think it's almost impossible for any expert to predict for the rapid changes we see in the Middle East. They are rapid and they will continue for quite a while.

You know how people say they're either like a cat or a dog? I feel like a cat. I just want to be alone. Isn't that weird? It's a lot to take in.

The human race never solves any of its problems, it only outlives them.

Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.

I've seen the truth, and it makes no sense.

Michael Jackson has been my idol since before I could even walk.

I not only wanted to showcase lyrical skills but also continue to drop knowledge on the hiphop community. Im looking to elevate through my music, and through my music I educate.

I remember being 18, and my first boyfriend said to me, "Unless you're in the room, you don't know if it's true." We were talking about gossip.
